My picks:
Hart: Bryzgalov (Miller, Ovy) - Bryz has carried PHX even more than Miller has carried Buffalo in some stretches, imo
Selke: Datsyuk (Kesler, Toews) - Dats has been nuts, as usual. I think Toews deserves some consideration.
Byng: Datsyuk (St. Louis, Lidstrom) - Noone is as effective as Datsyuk with so few PIM. Lidstrom's on pace for his lowest PIM season since the lockout.
Adams: Tippet (Sacco, someone else whose team sucked last year and is now good this year) - Self explanatory. Tippet has been a colossal upgrade over Gretz.
Vezina: Miller (Vokoun, Bryzgalov) - Vokoun never gets any respect. He's got a .928 sv% and 7 SO on the Cats.
Calder: Howard (Duchene, Myers) - Which one of these players respective teams suffers most if they're removed? You decide.
Norris: Lidstrom (Keith, Doughty) - Lids, as usual, has been spectacular. Keith and Doughty have obviously had amazing seasons. Lids runs away with this statistically when taking into account team statistics.
Masterton: Chelios? - He's 48 and back, and I can't think of anyone this year who has come back from 232325 concussions/cancer/etc. Maybe Pisani with his issues.
Who I think will actually win them:
Hart: Miller (Bryzgalov, Ovy) - Eastern media etc, and Miller rocks. It's not like he's undeserving. The olympics will also have added a huge +rep to him as well.
Selke: Datsyuk (Kesler, M. Richards) - Canadian media likes the way Richards plays so he'll get the nomination ahead of Toews or others imo
Byng: St. Louis (Datsyuk, Lidstrom) - I think they really want to give this to St. Louis before his play declines, and they're probably tired of giving it to Dats. Lidstrom's on pace for his lowest PIM season since the lockout. Someone might take note of that. St. Louis is deserving, and imo would have won it the last 4 years if not for Dats.
Adams: Tippet (Sacco, someone else whose team sucked last year and is now good this year) - Self explanatory. Tippet has been a colossal upgrade over Gretz. He'll get the media nod over Sacco because Phoenix is a nice story.
Vezina: Miller (Bryz, Anderson) - I think Anderson might get some recognition here. .922 sv%, 7 SO, and enough wins that he might get the nod over someone with more wins but lesser stats (like Quick)
Calder: Myers (Duchene, Howard) - Rookie seasons for d-men as strong as Myers has been are rare, he's in the East and the other two aren't, and he's been getting a lot of late-season noise. Also, Detroit players aren't allowed to win Calders
Norris: Keith (Doughty, Pronger) - Keith is having his career year on the top team in the West and has a nice-looking stat line. Big player on the Canadian olympic team. Doughty will get nods as well, and imo Pronger will get more than Lidstrom as a benefit of being in the east.
Masterton: Chelios? - He's 48 and back, and I can't think of anyone this year who has come back from 232325 concussions/cancer/etc. Maybe Pisani with his issues.
